.To all whom it'may concern: 7 V I Be it known that I, GAMILLA J;JonNsEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at 307John street, inthe city ofWhiting, county of Lake, and State of Indianaj have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Window-Reflectors, of which thefollowing is a speci- The objects of my invention areto provide a deviceas mentioned which will present a neat appearance when attached to awindowframe; and to provide a device of the character which may bereadily adjusted to any angle.

My invention will be more readily understood by A reference to theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window reflector 1 I embodying myinvention in its preferred form, illustrating the same'attached to thesill of a window frame,

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof, and Fig 3.is a view of the reflector seenfrom behind.

- Referring to the drawings, 1-l indicaterefiectors or mirrors fix'ed insuitable frames. These are arranged at substantially right angles-toeach other and are adapted to be held outsideoi awindow as shown.

A person-looking out of the window and into the mirrors, may see upordown the streetin both directions. These reflecters'may be rigidlyfixedeach' at an angle 7 of'about to the frame of the window. However,

prefer to have them adjustable in order to vary the horizontal angle,and also that the. reflectors may be turned downwardly, to see directlybeneath the window. To this end'I provide thenovel bracket shown in theseveral figures of thedrawings;

2 indicates'a stationary member of the bracket, se-

cured to a window sill by screws, 2. The bracket, 2, 7

comprises a plate portion, 3, which afford means for Y attaching thedevice to the sill, and a vertical tubular portion, 4. 'The portion, 4,"forms a sleeve or socket to receive the end of the movable member -ofthe bracket to which the are attached. 1 The movablemember comprisesarod, 5, sleeved in the portion,

4 of the member, and having its upper end bent as; shown, forming anoffset portion, 5; and a rod, 7, piv-' otallyconnected to theoffsetportion, 6 I

. The red, 7 is forked, forming two arms 8-8 which are attached to themirrors by sockets, 8. Secured to the rod, 7 is a vertical'pin, 7 uponwhich are arranged the supporting members for the .mirrors. These areformed by a hinge 70, and the arms, 8 8 hold the mirrorsj'scurelyagainst tumingbn the pin 7 It ob- Specificatiozi of Letters Patent. 7Application filed June a, 1907. Serial No. 377,165.

vious that l may connect the mirrors, to the bracket in various ways.Hence, I do not limitmyself to 'this'precise structure, but only showanddescribe the same as one efiicient manner of rigidly attaching themthereto. f'

The pivotal connection between the rod, 7, and the portion, 6, is formedas follows: Rigidly fixed to the end of-the rod, 7, is a sleeve, 8,which projects beyond the end of the rod to receive the end of theoffset portion, 6. a A slot, 9, in the sleeve 8 and, a pin 10 in theportion, 6 prevents themfrom slipping apart.

It will-be'seen that the mirrors may be readily turned to any verticalangle in order to see directly zbeneath the window and may be secured insuch position by a thumb "screw, .11, arranged in the end of the sleeve,

18 to impinge against jhe portion, 6 of the rod, 5.'

The bracket may-be swung in the socket, 4 .to any de* sired horizontalangle, andis held by a thumb nut, 12,

arranged in the socket, '4 and impinging against the Having described myinvention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,j

1, In a device bf the class described, a window sill, in combinationwith a bracket attached thereto, a. socket formed thereon, a forked armand mirrors fixed upon the forked end of said arm, substantially asdescribed.

2. In a device of the class described, a window sill, in combinationwith a bracket attached thereto, a socket formed thereon, an arm pivotedin said socket, a joint in said arm, permitting partial rotation of theouter end thereof on a horizontal axis and mirrors fixed upon the end ofsaid arm, substantially'as described.

3. In a device of .the class described, a window sill, in combinationwith a bracket attached thereto, asocket "formed thereon, an armcomprising a vertical portion, piv- 9O otally mounted in said socket anda horizontal portion forked atthe end, and mirrors fixed at the forkedend of said horizontal portion, substantially as described.

4. In a device of the class described, a window sill, in cbmbinationwith a bracket 1 attached thereto, a socket formed thereon, and an armcomprising a vertical portion, pivotally mounted in said socket and ahorizontal portion, a joint in said horizontal portion, permittingpartial rotation of the outer end'thereof on a horiz'ontal'axis andmirrors' fixed at the end of said horizontal portion, substan-- tiallyvas described.

5. In a device of the class described, a windowsill, in combination witha bracket attached thereto, a vertically disposed socket-in saidbracket, an armcomprising a ver- "tical portion arrangeddn said socket,a horizontal portion formed of two parts in axial alinement and a sleevearto each other
